This style has an attractive informality about it that is nevertheless chic and modern. Silver ink is letterpressed into the off white heavy weight board and the whole is set off nicely by the silver metallic edging.

Prestbury

A very eye-catching wedding invitation in luxurious New Blue card and White Hot Foil, the elegance of Prestbury will never go unnoticed. Plate sunk and printed in a striking contemporary Serlio typeface.

Radnor

An exquisite letterpress printed invitation in royal blue marina script on heavyweight Oyster impression card. The beautiful, delicate filigree design in the four corners frames the text perfectly.

Insignia is a variation of Gilded Style. The use of metallic foil for the initials is an attractive alternative to the raised colour ink used in the older design and it is beautifully off-set by the silver bevel edging.

Mulberry

An elegant plate sunk invitation in Bickham Script and Electra typefaces. Printed on luxurious, thich 600gsm high white laid card in purple and gold ink, this is most definitely a very striking invitation.

Flora

Simple but elegant, this beautiful floral wedding invitation draws the eye towards the text in this stunning sage ink. Printed in raised ink, this striking design is a twist on the classic folded invitation.

Charlwood

New for 2018/19 wedding season: entwined initials continue to be as popular as ever for wedding stationery and it is such a wonderful way to link everything from Save the Dates to Thank You cards. Charlwood style is foil blocked in gold for the entwined initials and printed in deep blue letterpress Shelley and Handel Old Style typefaces, biting into the luxurious, heavy weight gilt bevel edge oyster laid 600gsm card.

New Bond Street

New Bond Street is a varition of our most popular design Bond Street style. A slightly different typeface, a pretty Sage Green ink and instead of Brilliant White card we use High White Wove, all new elements that we feel enhance this modern classic. To see the original Bond Street Style Click Here

Chelsea

Chelsea is flamboyant. And fun. And not to be constrained. If you enjoy outrageous lipstick colours, and are not a great one for obeying the rules, this is for you.

Yet – open me up, look on the other side, and it is not all chaos: rather, classical typography at its best. There is yet hope!

Old Bond Street

We started with Bond Street, moved to New Bond Street, and have now progressed to Old Bond Street. This style is very popular for its simple elegance. Here it is reinterpreted with White Hot Foil print on striking Fuschia board.

Classic

Classic remains the most popular style of wedding invitation; indeed, for many people it defines what a wedding invitation is. Marina script is the best existing copy of hand engraved copperplate. Here it is shown printed in raised Black ink on Brilliant White Wove board. If less is more, Classic Style is there to prove it.

Arden

This combination of black letterpress print with gold foil blocking is refreshing and attractive, as well as – dare we say it – very impressive. A new style which we think will be very popular

Imperial

Imperial Style combines the popular effects of plate-sinking and ribboning with the measured elegance of Latin Antique type. It is printed in Slate raised ink on High White Laid board, although a variety of colour ways and combinations are available, all with matching ribbons. Lined envelopes are a popular optional extra with this style.

Gilded

Entwined initials have always been a popular motif for wedding stationery, supplying a link connecting everthing from Save the Day cards through to Thank You cards. Gilded Style is foil blocked in Gold for the entwined initials and printed deep blue letterpress for the Trajan type, biting into the heavy weight gilt bevel edge High White Wove board.

New York

Silver and white is the most obvious of wedding colour combinations but here it is used so effectively as to make a new and sophisticated look.

There is something exaggerated about this style with the flamboyant swash attributes of Bickham script and the bright rhodamine ink but here it is appropriate and looks so good, contrasting well with the sedate black typeface that is called Electra.

Ottoman

An invitation fit for Suleiman the Magnificent, a style that is rich and gold and luxurious.

Regency

Regency Style balances two typefaces, Edwardian Script and Handel Old Style, with a poised elegance. This style has long been very popular; here it is presented printed in raised Grey ink on a silver bevel edged Brilliant White Wove heavy weight board.

Pimlico

There is certainly something demi-mondaine about a part of London which has generated so many limericks! The white type emerging seductively out of a grey background is well set off by the bevel edge of the sensuously thick board.

Motif

Letterpress printing is increasingly popular: the impression it creates on a soft board has a very attractive, tactile feel. Motif Style is a good example of this technique, and illustrates why it is coming to be so highly prized. Handel Old Style type digs into the soft surface of Oyster Impression board, its Black ink contrasting with the Terra Pink flower motif. Various motifs are available, as illustrated in our Motifs Library.

Bond Street

Bond Street is smart and sophisticated, a clean and modern style with striking simplicity. The wedding invitation is printed on a luxuriously heavy weight 600gsm Brilliant White Wove board, which is plate sunk to give an indented panel. To see our latest version of this style please Click Here

Rococo

Rococo describes the look and feel of this style to perfection; ornamental and elegant, light and carefree. The decorative frame is letterpressed in pink onto our soft Impression card, the gold foil is suggestive of extravagance, the look is opulent.

Rohan

Like Chelsea Style, a mixture of flamboyance and restraint. The vibrant Rhodamine ink used for the display type and on the bevelled edges of the heavy weight board is strikingly attractive.

Orchid

Orchid style uses a clever combination of ink colour, typeface and backing board that makes it sophisticated but unaggressive. The colour combinations are many so the style can be adapted to suit most brides' requirements.

Shelley style is so classic it's impossible to believe it is the least expensive of our range. Flat black ink printed onto Hi White wove card with no other adornment conveys not economy but class, not meaness but confidence. Classic style is similar but not quite the same.

Billboard

Billboard recalls the days of wood type and the many fairground posters hand-printed by village craftsmen printers. Striking and bold, we offer this style in various colour ways.

Park Avenue

Clean looking and easy to read, this style though un-showy is very smart; dark blue ink and gilt edged card are extras that subtly enhance this most elegant design.

Blossom

Blossom is similar to Motif style and shows how easy it is to adapt our designs to produce something very different but still so charming; a blue ink instead of red and a different motif, you can change it too with your own image or preferred colour combination.

Dianthus

The carnation is an oft' derided flower but here it's classic look lends an unexpected elegance to this style.
